TOP 5 SONGS

5. Wassup (Ft. Busta Rhymes)

“Ciara taps into her hip-hop bag with this infectious, early-2000s-inspired single featuring Busta Rhymes.”

One of the album’s singles, this track leans more into hip-hop than R&B, with Ciara rapping for much of it. The beat is infectious, and the hook is catchy in the best way. Busta delivers his signature high-energy verse, perfectly complementing the early-2000s vibe. Nostalgic, fun, and bold—this one stands out.

4. How We Roll (Ft. Chris Brown)

Exactly what I hoped for from this album.

“How We Roll” is like Body Party’s fun, more upbeat sister. CiCi and Chris Breezy’s chemistry is undeniable—their vocals bounce off each other effortlessly, blending into something smooth and addictive. Playful, steamy, and seamless.

3. This Right Here (Ft. Latto)

A perfect blend of early-2000s nostalgia and modern flair.

This track instantly takes me back to the 1, 2 Step days. It’s pure early-2000s club nostalgia—fun, poppy, and upbeat. Latto brings her own modern flair, adding a fresh dynamic while keeping that throwback energy alive. It feels classic and current at the same time, and I love it.

2. Forever (Ft. Lil Baby)

Ciara goes deep on love and commitment.

A heartfelt track about wanting a love that lasts. Ciara is past the short-term flings—she’s looking for something real. She wants someone to grow old with, to share life with, someone who’s in it for the long haul. If forever isn’t the goal, she’s not interested.

1. Ecstasy

Ciara turns up the heat with her signature sultry style.

This is signature Ciara sexy. If “How We Roll” feels like the playful older sister of “Body Party,” “Ecstasy” feels like a reimagined cousin—smooth, sultry, and intimate. Whenever this man is near, Ciara’s body responds instantly. His presence is intoxicating, like a high she can’t come down from. Addictive, sensual, and undeniably Ciara.

RGM RATING

(76%)

With CiCi, Ciara delivers a perfect mix of new era energy and nostalgic throwback vibes. The album blends pop, R&B, and hip-hop, shifting from jersey club beats to silky bedroom tracks with ease. Lyrically, it touches on love, heartbreak, ambition, and self-empowerment, giving listeners both high-energy anthems and slow, intimate moments.

It’s a fun, feel-good project that shows different sides of Ciara. While it might not be an everyday listen for me, CiCi definitely has standout tracks that remind us exactly who she is—and why she’s still a force in the game.
